Which Flooring Styles Are Popular Right Now?

Wide-plank hardwood in light, natural finishes remain a top choice for its clean, open feel. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is in high demand for its realistic wood visuals and water-resistant properties. Laminate is also a trending option, offering budget-friendly performance improvements. In tile, matte finishes and neutral tones are favored in kitchens and bathrooms.

• Hardwood: Great for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, it’s durable, long-lasting, and adds resale value.

What Are the Signs You Need New Floors?

Not all flooring issues are cosmetic. Over time, floors can wear down in ways that impact safety, comfort, and even the value of your home. Look for warning signs, such as deep scratches, warping, soft spots, or sections that shift underfoot.

For carpets, issues like matting, stains that won’t lift, or persistent odors often suggest that replacement is the better option. If your flooring is more than 15 to 20 years old, it may be less efficient or outdated in style. Replacing it can improve both appearance and functionality.

What Does the Flooring Installation Process Look Like?

The flooring installation process typically begins with an on-site assessment to evaluate the condition of the subfloor and determine the best materials for the space. After selecting the flooring type, the old floor is removed, and the surface is prepared to ensure a level and secure foundation. This may involve cleaning, sanding, or minor repairs.

The new flooring is then installed according to the manufacturer's specifications, which vary depending on the material. Finishing touches, such as trim or transitions, are added last. A final inspection ensures the floor is fitted correctly and ready for use.

What Should You Do Before Installation Day?

Before installation day, taking a few simple steps can help the process go smoothly:

• Clear the room: Remove all furniture, rugs, and personal belongings from the work area.
• Protect valuables: Take down wall hangings and move fragile items from nearby spaces.
• Allow access: Make sure hallways and doorways are unobstructed for moving tools and materials.
• Plan for pets and kids: Keep them safely away from the installation zone.
• Talk with your installer: Review the schedule and ask any last-minute questions.

These preparations help prevent delays, protect your belongings, and ensure the installation goes as smoothly as possible.

How Long Does Installing Flooring Take?

The time it takes to install flooring depends on several factors, including the type of material, the size of the space, and the condition of the subfloor. For example, vinyl or laminate flooring in a single room may be completed in one day. Hardwood or tile installations often take longer because they may require acclimation time, adhesive curing, or grout drying. Additional prep work, such as leveling the subfloor or removing old flooring, can also add time.

Before we begin, we’ll provide you with a clear timeline based on your space, material choice, and any necessary preparation work.

What Goes Into the Flooring Installation Cost?

The cost of new flooring depends on several key factors:

• Material choice: Hardwood is typically more expensive than vinyl, laminate, or carpet. Extra materials like underlayment, adhesives, trim, and waste disposal may also have to be added.
• Square footage: Larger areas require more materials and labor.
• Layout complexity: Irregular shapes, tight corners, or patterns can add time and cost.
• Subfloor prep: Repairs or leveling may be needed before installation.
• Old floor removal: Tearing out existing flooring can increase labor costs.
